The Congressional Question
In another column will be found a commu
nication, 'touohing the policy the People's
Union Party should pursue in the ensuing
congressional contest. The many complica
tions of the question, and the different phases
it has assumed thus far; render it nearly ire
possible to discuss it at, present. We give
the views of our contributor for just what
they are worth, without expressing any opin
ion upon the subject matter of it ; while at
the same time we offer the use of our columns
to any courteous refutation of his sentiments.
The next Legislature
The legislature to be elected this fall, will
have duties to perform, more important-prob
ably, than any other, since the formation of
our Slate Government. To the end that there
duties be performed with the single purpose
of putting down rebellion, and maintaining
the character and dignity of our Suite, it is
of the very first importance that we E end men
there who will bring to the work the highest
and best attributes of patriotism and intelli
gence. To accomplish this purpose, we must
place before the people, for their suffrages,
men tried and true, who have no stain upon
their garments; and men whose votes and ut
terances have been of no uncertain sound.
The Union loving people of Perry county
seem to have a just appreciation of this duty,
and have placed in re-nomination for that po•
Olen our former joint member Jesse T. Ken
nedy. As a member of the last House, Mr.
Kennedy earned golden opinions from all par.
ties; - except the /3 - eini•tritors, for his un
swerving fidelity to his duties as a legislator,
and his. unualified condemnation of every
flagitous wrong. His defeat at this time, by
his Vallandigham opponent would be bailed
by Stonewall Jackson, as • an earnest of aid
and comfort to his bandits, whenever they
might st.coced in accomplishing their medita
ted invasion of Pennsylvania. Read what
the loyal press says of Mr Kennedy.
For the Legislature, we have Jesse Kmiec

and we point to his record with ptide. Ile
makes no promises to serve his party," or
any ' party,'' as his opponent has done ; but
he will honestly reflect the voice of the loyal
people of Perry Co.—Perry County Advocate.
The people of Perry county have done
themselves infinite credit in renominating
Jesse Kennedy for the Legislature. lie was
a member of the last House of Representa
fives. During that session, no man in that
body gave more incontestible proof of integ
rity and ability than Isik Kennedy, and no
representative more faithfully discharged the
duty due his constituents. As a legislator,
he was liberal, compreoensive and just, look-
Rig - beyond the local claims of his immediate
constituents on his services, to devote him•
self to the interests of the Commonwealth, by
supporting such measures as would best pro•
mote its prosperity. The loyal men in other
districts hail such nominations as that of Mr
Kennedy, as a surety
,of the material which is
to compose the approaching legislatupe.—

The Enforcement of the Laws
There has been much preaching, many
loud harangues on the stump, and a very
large amount of editorial scribbling, good
and bad, upon this topic of enforcidg the
laws.
"We have never objected to the utterance of
line upon lin; precept, upon precept" all ten•
ding to a full recognition of this cardinal doc
trine. A country without laws is not so good
as the swim; but a country with laws, if they
be left unenforced, is even worse. It is im
possible to conceive of a state more deplor
able. We have always, therefore, ad voca
ted the thorough enforcement of all the laws.
We have been led to make these preli mi•
nary 'remarks because of the state and con•
dition of things as they now exist in the
country.
There seems to have come a very sudden
change over the spirit of the dream of some
of these blatant advocates of this principle
of the enforcement of the laws. All at once
many of them have become mum The
confiscation act seems to have brought them
to a sudden pause.
While it simply meant the enforcement
of the fugitive alai° law, it was all well, and
they could harp loud and long upon its strin
gent applicat on in every instance.,lndeed, -
they are much pleased at such exhibitions
of the enforcement of this law as was recent
ly • witnessed in New. Orleans. They go
also; for the thorough carrying out this law
in bity of Washington_; that is, for making
every of that soil hunting-ground for the
poor contrabands from Maryland. But when
'thesPresident is urged to esti) , out the eon_
ficastion act, as we have already said, a
elia . nge comes over the spirit of their dream -

- We now call upon these whilom advocates
of the enforcement of the taw/316'60nm) their
opaesition to the confisbation loWs, and to
go in on the oft-repeated and fundamental
dogma of their creed, and urge with us the
thorough-carrying -out-of - this Mott - humane
and necessary statue of giving liberty.to the
slaves of rebels. Unless , all their former,
•professions and apparent "zeal is to bo set
down as so much hypocritical preter; se, they
must show their consistency by their works.
Let all the laws be enforced, but especially
let liberty be given at once in every district
in the South where our army has the power
to free the slaves of rebel masters, in accor
dance with the law of Congress, signed by
Mr. Lincoln himself.
The Free Black Colonization
Scheme
Professor Brownson addressed a large as
semblage at Washington .City on Monday
evening of last week, expressing himself ar
dently in-favor of the-President's - Frce Black
Colonization scheme. Apart from this, how
ever, he regarded emancipation as a necessa.
ry war measure. The two races should be
geographically separated, for there could be
no equality among them, nor did be desire
it. So far the defence of the country has
been a voluntary act, but he advocated a
drift, because it would thus be made a duty,
the foundation of true nationality.
A nation is never lost•till manhood is ex
tinguished. He regarded this war not as a
judgement,but as sent in Iscrcy. ,We should
not despond, but ever rdrnetnbr that we
have a country which shall be maintained
against whatever• foes may be combined to
overthrow our Government. It should be
upheld by boldness and energy, for timidity
is worse tln.n treachery, It should, be said
to our defenders, "There is your work—go
and do it and sweep away the Rebels from
the land of Washington and Jefferson."
Sacrifices for the country will render it dear
er to its inhabitants.
Professor Browson is a prominent mem
trier of the Catholic Church, and is a Demo
crat. IJis remarks were applauded through
A Democratic General on therNegro.
Tho rebel chairman of the Democratic State
Central Committee, Frank Hughes, and his
rebel associates are making a great noise over
freeing the rediOes,
We give a full and fair answer to these
miserable traitors, and it is from General
Daniel E. Sickles, who has fought so bravely
in our lute battles. He is a rod mouthed
Tammany Hall Democrat and he says that
tee will never see peace until Slavery
is .ds
e(romied.
Read as follows from Gencral'Sickles :
" Now I haVe a word or two to say to my
fellow citizens, and especially to those who
have hitherto done me the honor to concur
with me in my views of public affairs. In
the event of the result of the war termini - ding
in emancipation, I wish to say that men's
minds should at once be disabused of any
false notions they may have conceived. The
laboring men of the'North needeot suppose
that the freed men of the South will ever in
terfere with or become competitors with thorn
in the labor market of the North. It must lie
borne in mind that, since this great convul
sion of the country, the Saudi lies not been
able to produce eaoug,h of rice, cotton, tobao.
co, corn, sugar, and the other staples for
which she is so tamed! The demands of the
world have been great, but she could not meet
them. For more thou a year not ,moro titan
half of their usual crops have been produced.
And remember, the demand is.always increas
ing for all the staples of the South produced
by negro labor. Remember there is more
cotton land and rice and sugar land now -un
miltivated in the South than there has been
hitherto cultivated by phl the planters whq
flourished there but a single year ago. Re
member that this demand Joust go on contin
ually increasing and the supply be greatly
diminished for years to come before capital
eau resume its former channel.
" Callum every man see it, that when peace
eh all-he restored, the demand - for . tiegto" I Midi
in the South will he so increased that all the
blacks throughout the country will he drawn
by attraction towards the South, and there
be entirely absorbed ? So that, so fat• as the
labor of the blacks ceasing to be in demand
on the cessation of war and the restoration of
peace, the demand for the great staples of
rice, tobacco, sugar, and cotton—which will
and 171119 t be scarce—will call the service of
every black laborer into instantaneous and
ocultinuous requisition, and a new impulse
will be given to every branch of produo
live industry. The prosperity of the North,
meanwhile, is not to cease. Capital, enter
pri,m, thrift, are still here among us, and will
be then as now ; and we will not °My have
the same demand fur labor with liberal wages,
and the same reward for enterprise and in
dustry, but, in my humble judgment, every
branch of trade and commerce and domestic
industry will rise into dew life when the Union
and the Constitution shall be vindicated and
peace restored."
These are words of weighty wisdom, and
there is no successful reply to them. Secre
tary Seward'e late letter, in which he invokes
European emigration to the United States to
fill the vacuum created by the enormous con•
tribution of our white men to the army of the
Republic, bears with signal significance upon
this question. • The freed slaves of the South
will be required to till the Southern cotton, to
bacco, and sugar fields, and the emigrants of
the Old World will be demanded to occupy the
void in the various mechanical anti agricultu
ral walks of the free States. These proposi
tions stand like an impregnable battlement,
and prove conclusively that the white men of
the free States need not fear an exodus of the
free or disfranchised blacks of the South, and
that the South must perish forever, if not culti
vated by these enfranchised-blacks.
General Sickles closes his observation on
this head with another philosophical argu•
meat, which is closely oonneoted with the
above proposition I have commented upon.
There can be no peace that does not close cut
slavery on this continent :
„ There is to be no pence on this oonti'ment,
as I believe, until these thirty States iireuni
ted. You and I may livo to be seventy years
old; we shall never soo pence on this conti
nent. until wo see one Ling from the Lakes 'to
the Gulf, and wo shall never see it until sla

these States. Let the South go to-morrow,
and you have not got peace. Intestine war
here, border war along the line. aggression
and intrigue on the part of the South I She
bat+ lived with us for seventy years, and kept
us constantly in turmoil. 'Exasperated by
suffering, grown haughty by success, the mo- -
ment she goes off, is snob a neighbor likely
to treat us any better, with our imaginary,
lino between-us, than she has treated miler,
seventy years while'ehe held the sooptre?
The moment we ask'for, terms, she collate it
victory, and the wart in another shape goes
on. You and I are. never to see peace,- we
are never to see the possibility of putting the

nineteen or thirty-four states, on a peace

Communication
Monday of last week, being the day fixed
for the meeting of the Republican delegates
in CottntpPonvention, to forma ticket for
the support of their voters at the ensuing
general election, your readers will perceive
that the work has been done; and so far as
the ticket is conaplete,l think it has been
well done. The men composing the ticket
are loyal—thoroughly aroused to the dangers
which threaten our free institutions and to
the necessity of maintaining the integrity of
the Government by the use of all the means,
constitutional or otherwise, that are essential
to that end.
This is saying all that need .be said to
' cominend them to the support of loyal voters;
and yet it !nay be added with equal truth,
that they are nominations fit to be made
because of the sterling worth of the n.iminees,
lit the selections thus made, we understand
the convention was harmonious—but not so
in regard to the joint action 'ortlte - chtintied .
embracing the Congressional district as to
the propriety of nominating a Republican
candidate for Congress—one portion com
prising nearly the half of that. body being in
iavor of such nomination, while the other
believed it to be expedient to unite in the
support of Joseph Bailey, the Democratic
nominee. I regard this as unfortunate.
Expedienl,s, I hold, are always damaging
to the cause of truth and righteousness, al
ways a fruitful source of party disorganiza
tion, and especially iniscbeivous in a question
whether a loyal people shall be forced into
the support of a man to represent them in
the national councils who is identified with
all the schemes of evil, concocted by the
leaders of the rebellion in our past history,
and of which we are slow reaping the whirl.
wind: or whether we shall attempt to electa
man whose views and sympathies are with
the Republican party, and whose truth and
fidelity are assured by years of toil and labor
and reproach in a common cause. For our
selves, and for' those who have been over
borne in our views of what is right, and
manly, and becoming 11n this matter, we say
No! Away with expediency. Give us fair
play by giving us a candidate for whom we
can vote.
But it is said we cannot elect such a man
and it is better to give our support to one,
who by a single vote and speech has so
contrnitted himself to a vigorous prosecution
of the war that he cannot retreat, than_ to
give him offence by withholding our votes,
and thus endanger his stability. And,
to reover, that by thus withholding our votes
we aid an odious faction of former polit
ical associates' lit their attempts to defeat his
election. Be it so. My answer to all this
is; we cannot know what we are able to do
in this respect until we try--that we shall
be no worse off if we fail, inasmuch as we
shall still have Mr. Bailey in the event of
the defeat of a better man—and that if the
stability of Mr. Bailey is of So frail a texture
as to be broken by the ingratitude of the
Republican party, his loyalty is not now re
liable.
The occasion is not one in which Whigs
and Republicans-can be expected to forget
the ...lid alliance against which they have, so
fong struggled—abuegate all the aisociations
of - past years, and enter into fellowship with
General Bailey and his•party adherents, be
cause of his refusal to place himself on the
records of Congress in undisguished hostili
ty to the Government at a time when all its
energies are required to preserve its nation
ality. Public virtue is at a low ebb,and the
end of republican government is not far off
when reasons-of This kind--are-recommenda=-
tions fru' public trust. Why, we ask, make
General Bailey the subject of all this mag
nanimity ?. Why not let Commissioner
Scobey and Representative, Rhoads come in
for a share? No one doubts their loyalty.
Assuredly the union of all' hearts in, support
of the union of all ihe States, the abnegation
,of all party feelings and animosities in such
a time as this are most devoutly4o be de.

some kind of a permanent camp, for our men
need rest and recuperation for the long weary

PROCLAMATION
WIIEIIEAS, in the present position of affairs,
it is expedient that measures should be taken
to arm and prepare our people for defence :
Now, therefore, I do earnestly recommend
the immediate formation, throughout the
Commonwealth, of volunteer companies and
regiments, in conformity with the militia act
of 1858 Arms will be distributed to the
organizations to be formed.
It is further recommended that in order to
give due opportunities for drill and instruc•
tion all places of business be closed daily at
3 o'clock, P..M. so that persons employed
therein may pfter that hour be at liberty to
attend to their military duties.
The cheerful alacrity with which the men
of .Pennsylvania have hitherto given them
selves to the service of the country has
ffeireed heavily on her military resources.—
I am reluctant to ask her pAptcrio assume
further burdens; but as their safety requires
they should do, it is in their behalf that I
put forth the recommendations heroin con
tained and urge a prompt compliance with
them.

THE RESPONSE.—On Friday morning
of last week, there appeared in the Harris
burg 'Telegraph, the Proclamation of Gov.
CURTIN, announcing the danger of this valley,
and State from armed incursions of the reb
els. In the same proclamation the Governor
_earnestly recommended the immediate form
ing of uniformed militia oompanies, tq whom
he would forward arms and ammunition at
onoe. Just one short week has elapsed, sinoo
that proclamation was issued, and we have
sire .dy four full oompanihs in Carlisle, an
equal number in the adjacent townships, and
-we feel quite confident that:•au entire armed
and equipped regiment will be formed-before
a fortnight. Should Stonewall Jackson, with
his traitorious legions, be so fool hardy, as to
attempt an invasisn of our quiet and bosuti
ful valley, hewill meet with a reception quite
as warm as the. most affectionate could do-
